Horrible Place to work

Pros

Flexible Hours. Other than that, there are non.

Cons

-The people are either drug addicts, prostitutes, or some sort of swindler -Management sucks -no possible way to move up -no benefits -limited numbers of campaigns to call -the place smells I worked in the Boston office, so we were close to "Corporate" on the same floor. The entire structure is filled with incompetent people. The "Corporate" HQ was filled with 20 somethings who made 20 something thousand a year and worked long hours.

Pros

There are none. Unless you like working with hookers, crackheads, and drug dealers. Women co-workers offering oral sex on payday.

Cons

No opportunity for personal growth. I applied to be promoted multiple times because I was a lot smarter than my bosses. There are no benefits and the company does what ever they can to keep you part time and the pay sucks-- which lends itself to underemployment. The callers know nothing about the issues for which they are calling. And the place is dirty.

Horrible company

Pros

Can't think of any. What they're doing is awful.

Cons

Evil people working for "progressive" casuses but treating their employees like slave labor in a boiler room operation. Any company that makes you go off the clock to use the restroom is evil. You get no benefits whatsoever, and you are under constant threat of being fired. During my time working at Telefund on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, I was encouraged to badger people into giving money, lie to them, and generally be dishonest. When one woman told me she couldn't give because her husband had just died of cancer, I was yelled at for not saying to her "why don't you make a contribution in his memory". I can't believe that great causes like the ACLU, Amnesty, the Human Rights Campaign and the ASPCA actually use these people. They are awful.
